This study provides annual estimates of the population of
all counties and county equivalents in the United States for the years
1971-1974. Also included are county-level estimates of the components
of population change (births, deaths, and net migration) for the same
years. County equivalents are parishes in Louisiana, census divisions
in Alaska, and independent cities in Virginia and Missouri. The
dataset was prepared by ICPSR from Current Population Reports
published by the Census Bureau and originally compiled by the Census
Bureau with the assistance of designated state agencies in the
Federal/State Cooperative Program for Population Estimates. Several
ICPSR geographic identification variables were included in the dataset
to improve its utility and maintain the comparability of the present
data with other county-level materials in the ICPSR archive. ICPSR
also calculated some variable values that were missing from the Census
Bureau reports.
